The study identified 22 main active ingredients in EH, such as quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and naringenin, targeting 105 NS-related genes. The PPI network revealed 53 core targets, including AKT1, TNF, IL6, VEGFA, and IL1B, crucial in NS treatment. Enrichment analysis highlighted pathways like PI3K-Akt signaling, TNF signaling, and AGE-RAGE signaling. Molecular docking confirmed good binding between active ingredients (kaempferol, luteolin, quercetin, naringenin) and target proteins (AKT1, TNF), suggesting potential mechanisms for EH in NS treatment.

The study identified 164 ingredients and 58 intersection targets in GLNBD's treatment of PCM. Four key active compounds (quercetin, luteolin, fisetin, kaempferol) and four key proteins (ALB, EGFR, IL-6, VEGFA) were identified. Enrichment analysis revealed associations with negative regulation of apoptosis, response to hypoxia, positive regulation of transcription, and DNA-templated, with related pathways involving the pathway in cancer, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) Akt signaling pathway, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications. Molecular docking validated stable binding activities between key target genes and essential active compounds, suggesting their potential role in modulating relevant pathways.

The study identified 15 anti-NAFLD bioactive ingredients in SQP, including quercetin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, diosgenin, and tetrahydroalstonine. Key target proteins against NAFLD were AKT1, TNF, MAPK8, IL-6, and VEGFA. The main pathways involved PI3K/Akt signaling, HIF-1 signaling, MAPK signaling, and TNF signaling. Molecular docking predicted binding of quercetin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, diosgenin, and tetrahydroalstonine with AKT1, TNF, and MAPK8, suggesting their potential role in SQP's anti-NAFLD effects.

The research used various databases such as Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform, GeneCards, and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database to gather the ingredients of RALRG and potential targets of RP and RALRG. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed to visualize these interactions. The R program was utilized to perform functional enrichment. The researchers constructed a visual RALRG-RP-pathway pharmacology network using Cytoscape 3.9.1 and applied molecular docking to compute binding affinity.
The research revealed a total of 132 effective active elements in RALRG correlating to 248 target genes. Ninety-two intersection target genes were discovered from the overlap of RP- and RALRG-related genes. These intersection targets were discovered to be primarily involved in oxidative stress, responding to metal ions, and handling chemical stress. Several molecular pathways such as PI3K-AKT and MAPK were identified as closely connected to RP therapy. A potential pharmacology network was designed for the RALRG-RP-pathway with AKT1 and JUN being considered the main targets. The active ingredients luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol were highlighted as crucial for this mechanism. RALRG overall was established as a main regulator for oxidative stress and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in the treatment of RP.
Dietary supplements are found to be a promising complementary treatment for endometriosis, thanks to their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and immune modulatory characteristics.
2022 Acta Biomedica Dietary supplements for treatment of endometriosis: A review Yalçın Bahat P, Ayhan I, Üreyen Özdemir E, İnceboz Ümit, Oral E
Review Article
The researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review and synthesized the effects of various dietary supplements. The list of supplements includes vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, omega 3, propolis, quercetin, curcumin, N-acetylcysteine, probiotics, resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and epigallocatechin-3-gallate. These were studied due to their known anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, and immune modulatory characteristics.
In terms of discussion on the results, the findings from the comprehensive literature review, encompassing in vitro, animal and human studies, show that there might be significant potential for dietary supplements as a complementary treatment to conventional therapy for endometriosis. Each supplement displayed attributes contributing to the mitigation of endometriosis symptoms, whether it was through anti-inflammatory means, antioxidant effects, immune modulation or their anti-proliferative properties. Despite variations between different kinds of supplements, the overall consensus indicates these function as a helpful add-on in managing the disease.
Co-fermentation of Ganpu tea with Chachi peel alters its chemical profile, reducing certain compounds while increasing others, thus enhancing its unique flavor.
2021 Frontiers in Nutrition The Impact of Citrus-Tea Cofermentation Process on Chemical Composition and Contents of Pu-Erh Tea: An Integrated Metabolomics Study Xu Y, Liang PL, Chen XL, Gong MJ, Zhang L, Qiu XH, et al.
Experimental Study Gan Pu Tea
In the research, the effects of Chachi peel cofermentation on the chemical profile of Ganpu tea were examined using an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE Orbitrap MS)-based qualitative and quantitative method combined with multivariate analysis. A total of 171 compounds were identified using a three-level strategy, including seven phenolic acids, 11 flavan-3-ols, and 27 flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides identified in pu-erh tea for the first time.
The principal component analysis (PCA) of untargeted metabolomics and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models of targeted components revealed significant differences in the chemical profiles between raw pu-erh tea and Ganpu tea. The cofermentation process significantly reduced the total contents of phenolic acids, flavan-3-ols, and flavonoid aglycone. However, most of the quercetin glycosides, myricetin glycosides, and vitexin increased significantly. Additionally, hesperidin, a flavonoid glycoside only found in Chachi, was detected in pu-erh tea for the first time after cofermentation.
Hence, this process clearly impacts the chemical composition and content changes in pu-erh tea, suggesting that cofermentation accelerates the fermentation of pu-erh tea and improves its unique taste.
